20 mil wear layer and comes out to ~$2.16/sqft. I have 3 toddlers and a dog, curious if this will hold up to abuse. Wanted to get some advice before pulling the trigger as we’d need about 900 sq ft.

I have an appointment scheduled today with the Costco Shaw flooring rep. I am looking to have the master & one bedroom recarpeted & possibly the stairs.
What has everyone's experience been? I honestly didn't think I was going to have the floors re-carpeted so soon, but after spending some time in my new home & seeing just how dirty the previous owners were, I think it;'s probably in my best interest to have this done sooner rather than later.
I'm interested in how folks found the price to be, the installation experience, and everything overall. Costco is now offering a 10% cash card so it seems like a good time on top of the filth ;). I haven't shopped this yet & am not sure I am going to spend the time doing so but maybe quick compare online against Lowes & Home Depot.
I posted this as a comment somewhere else here but decided to start it as a topic and looking for advice.
So last May/June, we decided to go with Costco to redo our whole first floor in lvp. The quote wasn’t too bad and we got back a hefty amount of money as shopper cards so we were initially very pleased. That said, the contractor Costco hired for our job did a terrible job and we are still dealing with them over a year after the install. The first red flag was when they started installing, I asked whether they were going to do any floor prep, like leveling out the floor. Without even checking, they basically said no since my house wasn’t super old. Then they ran out of materials and told me it would be a few days before they would get more in. After almost two weeks of radio silence, they miraculously had the materials after I called them and reminded them. Then less then a year later we already had planks coming apart. When I called for labor warranty, the contractor just came back and basically kicked the planks back together, applied some glue, and called it a day. Then even more planks came apart. Same deal. Now we have five planks coming apart, to include one that he previously “fixed.” I am at my wits end and went to talk to some other flooring experts. All said the issues were likely due to not having a flat subfloor, I.e. not doing proper floor prep. If I’m correct, I believe this would also void the warranty, according to Shaws’s website.
This experience has been absolutely horrible! If the contractor says they aren’t going to level out the subfloor and redo the job I’m going to take it up with Costco and Shaw. Does anyone else have any advice? Did anyone else have such a horrible experience?
I scheduled a home visit to have them estimate how much new flooring would cost. Those that have used it how was the price? Was the it installedfast? Would you use them again?
I'm looking to close soon on a house and plan on replacing carpet on the main floor w/ laminate flooring. Vinyl is another option but it sounds like that could be more problems down the road if I don't need really good waterproofing.
Costco is currently running a sale on Harmonics Laminates which ends today. Researching a bit Harmonics is Quick-Step laminate, and supposedly it used to be one of their better products but have since been replaced w/ something lower end.
We're planning on looking in person today, most likely the Savannah Hickory will be most to our liking. Pricing now is $30 for ~20sqft = 1.50/sqft, regularly $40. Pergos are $2-$3/sqft, Lowes "Project Source" which was fairly well rated by Consumer Reports costs only 70cents/sqft. I normally associate Costco products as high quality w/ a decent price, would these products hold up in the same way or am I better off paying more / less?
We're thinking of redoing some carpet and we're wondering if anyone on here have had carpet/flooring replaced by Costco or the Shaw program.
Thanks in advance
